Essays on Imagination

...IMAGINATION Imagination refers to a where a person forms mental images of things orevents that cannot be perceived physically. It involves “refusing to let” go until one gets the very depth of a matter. Over the years, imagination has been regarded as a tool capable of transforming an obscurity into a reality. As a matter of fact, some most of inventions and innovations trace their roots to this concept. Albert Einstein is a renowned scientists and one of the greatest thinkers ever to exist. In one of his famous quotes, he asserts that, “Logic will get you from A to Z; Imagination will take you everywhere (Heather 43).” Similarly, Jesuit universities insist that all its... of Affiliation THE POWER OF...

...Imagination and Irving Singer’s Feeling and Imagination present two very compelling views of the nature of imagination. They both do so with the aid of monumental support from the literature throughout the entire history of philosophy, moving from Plato to Kant, Schelling, and the other German Idealists. Although both authors introduce a vast scope of input from such a history, the focus here will be on Kant particularly, and his notions of the aesthetic. Both discuss Kant at length, including his thoughts on how the imagination is coupled with the production of creative art. However, the two philosophers’ approaches to Kant differ in several fundamentally... Kant and the Aesthetic Mary Warnock’s...

Above definition displays two concepts: human being at the micro level and society at the macro level. Sociological imagination is a sociological theory that encapsulates these two concepts: individual, and society (What is Sciology). An individual is an element of society.

Introduction The concept of identity is one that is based both on the concrete definitions which one is given as well as an invention that comes fromnotions of reality. Each individual creates a specific identity that is based on the surrounding environment as well as the beliefs which they have about themselves. This creates a specific persona that the individual links to in order to create a sense of reality and a perception of where the individual fits. When looking at various identities, one can find that sub – plots which individuals assign themselves are the main ways in which perceptions change as...

...imagination, the micro-level of an individual action and its relation to the macro-level social structure can be easily understood. Say for example, an unemployed individual is unemployed for various kinds of reasons such as poor work habits. But on the macro-level, the high rate of unemployment in general is affected by the economy, like in the case of the Great Depression. Another example is the very recent resurgence of anti-nuclear protests caused by the nuclear reactors that leaked in Japan, a result of the recent earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. That particular issue has caused the people to question the moral basis of the nuclear... ?Answer to Question Through the social practice of social...

...Imagination Sociological imagination is the concept that enables people to think themselves away from the common routines of life and have a look at them in a new way. In order to get a sociological imagination, one must distance himself/herself and pull away from a situation that is in hand. One must think from another point of view.
Willingness to observe the social world at appoint of others stimulates the sociological imagination. This involves abandoning the thoughts of oneself and the problems, then focus on the social circumstances that bring about the social problems (Ho).

Abstract
This paper looks at sociological imagination, unemployment and its impact, and the association between personal occurrences and the social effect of unemployment. A number of studies indicate that unemployment affects an individual personally and the whole community. In addition, sociological imagination tries to explain social results from the point of view of social actions, actors, and social context (Mills, 1959). This helps to explain how unemployment may lead to several results, for example, crime, deviance, poverty, among other vices. Also, this paper illustrates how sociological imagination helps to perceive things or circumstances socially, how... ﻿ Sociological...

...Imagination Renowned American sociological theorists and thinker of twentieth century C. Wright Mills has presented the concept of sociological imagination in his work in 1959. The main theme of Mill’s theoretical framework is this that individuals should imagine and envision the social transformation, taking place in their environment, in the pretext of their socio-political history, which would be highly beneficial for them in respect of understanding the developments being made around them in future years to come. Social imagination, according to Mills, is the capacity to shift from one perspective to another; the capacity to range from the most impersonal and remote transformations... Sociological...

This is because the secondary schools garner support for the students and give them the much needed boost within their identities and social circles. It makes them feel privileged that they are a part of the societal manifestations that one very fondly needs to be within. It is because of this that the students believe that they should be provided with secondary school education so that their domains could be understood in a much better way than if they were not given a chance to acclimatize themselves.

...Imagining and the Immigrant’s Challenge in America Sociologists have attempted to turn the interaction of human beings, on a large scale, into as exact a science as possible. Yet in doing so they often neglected the individual, to the extent that individual only functions as an object of socialization, or a repeater of socializing processes. Yet this imagining of the individual cannot stand because the society relies on the individual to shape it – “Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both” (Mills 1959). The problem, however, is that people do not often imagine the role they play in shaping... Prof’s The Individual and Society: Social...

The improvement and advancement in technology has been much of a blessing and also much of a curse to the human generation. Take for instance how the children are being brought up in this generation compared to the way they were being brought up in the past. Nowadays, the improvement in technology has made it really hard to bring up a child. Unlike in the past where the child would be encouraged to play with other children and in the process improve on his or her social development, these days the child... Imagination...

...Imagination: A way to the Creativity Imagination is the father of invention. Mental imagery has been a fairly constant topic in philosophy of mind, as has artistic creativity in aesthetics, and both issues have been hotly debated in psychology and cognitive science. But there has been much less concern to offer philosophical clarification of our various concepts of imagination and creativity - of what it means to 'imagine', be 'creative', and so on - and the relationships between these concepts. In recent years, however, this has begun to change, and the central aims of this book are to explore some of the different...

...Imagination & Technique Creativity in humor Maria Popova presents Arthur Koestler’s Bisociation theory, which focuses on the act of creation. Popova remarks about Bob Mankoff’s theory of humor, which he presented at a TED Salon. The term bisociation explains the combinatorial nature of creativity and demonstrates how it functions as a slot of machine. This depends on the pattern-recognition of the mind and demands the synthesis of raw materials into new concepts. Koestler diagrams this concept to explain it further. He extends to provide a discussion on varied forms that unstable creativity can have on humor art and science. He illustrates ways in which bisociation is applicable... , it opens...

...imagine personal things. This would therefore mean that the world of art and science are too complex to merge. In her essay, “Imagination and the Aesthetic Appreciation of Nature” Emily Brady maintains that the individual subject is vital to the appreciation of all forms of art. By so it means that every individual can appreciate art in their own way through visualization of any image. This is in contrast to Berger’s essay in which he maintains that visualizations without the deep understanding of an image are not possible. Emily insists that the aesthetic responses to art are guided by the art itself and the individual preference... College Berger John through his essay Steps towards a small theory of...

...Imagination The ostrich, when confronted with a new and strange situation that smells like a threat, buries its head in the sand. Being the world's largest bird and swift-footed at that, it can make a good account of itself by meeting an approaching danger head-on or by just making a run for it. Instead, the ostrich would not recognize an impending problem and tries to shun danger by refusing to see it.
It is axiomatic in behavior, bird or otherwise, that anything unknown inspires fear and confusion. Thus, people behave much like the ostriches in the face of life situations that seem hard to explain and cope with. They hide at the first sign of trouble, withdrawing... Developing Sociological...

In his work on “Silence”, he gives a reflection on his experience with sounds at Harvard University and says that music cannot fade away. “The Poetics of Environmental Sound” by Pauline Oliveros, encompasses quotations and listening exercises from approximately 150 dissimilar responses to the exercise. The arrangement of the quotations is in such a manner that show that emotional and sound qualities influence a collaborative musical composition.

It turned out that we were both walking in the same direction. However, I had to stop and sit for a while. I was waiting on a friend of mine. While waiting I watched the man as he continued on. I could see him walk towards a big silver door and I knew that he was headed for a garbage room. The man carefully put the briefcase that he had been carrying on the floor.

...Imagination John Berger’s, Step’s towards a Smaller Theory of the Visible, is an essay that consistsof amusing thoughts on art and science. The author presents a number of issues regarding art and less on science. Artists are judged with the contents they present and scientist by conclusions they reach at. The essay focuses more on paint artistry and its implications than the essentials of art itself. He, however, goes on to expose the cons of artistry. The author does this by justifying the works of a few artists. Interestingly, I felt that the essay attempts to connect the concept of art in the past and the recent. The writer succeeded in explaining art as a mortal discipline... Art, Science and...

... Reflections and Responses Reflection for Chapter 13 The two gazes of tourism are real, at least from my personal experiences and readings. Just as John Urry claims, the first gaze of tourism occurs because people are reluctant to promote domestic tourism but they wait for tourist from other countries or regions to tour their area. Most of the institutions that deal with tourism have commercialized the industry by forgetting about the consumption part. They only focus on the production aspect and this threatens the industry a great deal. By putting more emphasis on productivity and profitability, it is possible to forget about the cultural and social aspects of tourism, just as John Urry... Reflections...

...Imagination During 1959, CW Mills wrote that "people often feel that their private lives are a series of traps." Accordingly, the specific reason why people feel trapped is their limited perception of what is happening in their personal lives. Mills argued that "their visions and their powers are limited to the close-up scenes of job, family [and] neighbourhood," and are not able to fully understand the greater sociological patterns related to their private troubles. Underlying this feeling of being trapped are the seemingly uncontrollable and continuous changes to society.
Almost 50 years has passed since Mills had prescribed solutions to these "traps" which he called sociological... Sociological...

An Embarrassing Situation in Which I Was the Offender
It was during the spring of 2009 when I embarked on my foremost go-kart league contest. It was a competition for drivers with tremendous skills, and it was a terrorizing condition despite my entire decade practicing. The regulations of the race asserted that a racer was to evade: extreme hostility, brake checks, hitting and also pushing of other contestants. Initially, I had an erroneous presumption that, in a union competition, the race would be fair and straightforward enough to permit interactions amongst competitors, due to diversity.

Pauline Oliveros composition of Sonic Meditations practice stemmed from her interest in the healing power of sonic energy.

There are three different types of sociology—basic/pure, applied, and clinical sociology. We should study sociology because sociology looks beyond the individual.

...Imagination We ask ourselves first that what history is. History is defined as the account of a series of events taking place in a certain period of time. Historical accounts of the same event may differ due to the different perspective of people on the aspects of life (Stearns). History helps us understand the societies and the people in them. By picking up a historical account of a society one gets to know the behavioral patterns of its people and how the culture and tradition has shaped the way of life of the people of a particular region. The history of a place depicts the ideas, beliefs, traditions, and serves as a laboratory telling how the complex societies behave... ? Role of History and...

According to C. Wright Mills, understanding a life sociologically means understanding the ways in which biography, social structure, and history intersect to shape it (Mills, 1959). Most individuals feel that their life experiences are exclusive, which is true to some extent. People may have unique experiences concerning matters such as family and love that are completely specific to their lives, and never will someone else experience them in the same way. Nevertheless, it is possible to explain how... the...
